About this home

Embrace a nearly self-sufficient lifestyle with this lovingly created and meticulously maintained homestead set on approximately 24 acres in Buckfield, just 30 minutes from Lewiston/Auburn. Once certified by MOFGA for organic fruit and vegetable production, this remarkable property has also been home to Scottish Highland cattle and offers exceptional infrastructure for farming, gardening, or sustainable living. The land is rich with established plantings, including high-bush blueberries, asparagus, nettles, herbs, rhubarb, apple trees, pear trees, plum trees, hazelnut bushes, a black walnut tree, elderberry bushes, cranberries, hawthorn trees, and much more. Two hoop houses and a 30' x 40' propagation barn--complete with a wash room and walk-in cooler--provide outstanding flexibility for agricultural pursuits or a variety of other uses. Additional outbuildings include a chicken coop, a small barn with workshop space, and eight fenced paddocks. The charming four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is warm and inviting, highlighted by an exceptional country kitchen featuring a new propane range, a traditional wood cookstove, an oversized pantry, beautiful soapstone countertops, a slate sink, and exposed stone accents that add character and timeless appeal. Equipped with solar power and an artesian water system, this extraordinary property offers the opportunity to enjoy a sustainable, productive, and peaceful lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty. Whether you're dreaming of a working farm, a homestead, or simply a private country retreat, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome its next steward. This might be a great spot for a Farm to Table and/or event venue!
